I don't think there is any chance of May's deal going through on Friday, not going by the mutterings from MP's on TV tonight anyway.  It's looking like a long extension, and ultimately the complete unravelling of Brexit .... which will suit the DUP well.  They can then return to their bigoted ways this side of the Irish Sea, where unfortunately their grass roots support will continue to back them to keep Sinn Fein out ... the whole thing is pathetic.

They'll be bigoted regardless of which way things end up. Their intransigence over this and their willingness to sacrifice the North to remain in the UK may drive wavering DUP voters to support Alliance or the UUP in future. The DUP won't come out of this unscathed.

Apparently a lot of Labour MP's are now being effectively bribed with money for their constituencies and some of them are rumoured to be signing up to the deal.

When the UK's economy is broke and they are beating at the IMFs door for emergency bail outs (like 1976) - then there ain't even gonna be the magic money tree!

Feck! The DUP and ERG have split up; who'll get custody of the kids?

A brief marriage ends. DUP learning today that many in ERG = Brexiteers first Unionists second. DUP = Unionists first and Brexiteers second. So DUP would countenance long extension / customs union over PM's deal while ERG will support PM's deal over long extension / customs union

Dominic Raab now supporting May's deal also. the Tory Brexiteer's all jumping ship at the last minute which means that the DUP will come under yet more political pressure. I don't think she will get it over the line tonight but if it is 10-20 votes away then expect the DUP to come under serious pressure again over the weekend. They are becoming increasingly isolated.

Sammy Wilson is a heart attack waiting to happen.

It's all over the place. Some ERG are voting for, some aren't. Remainers won't vote for it. DUP won't, it's hard to see them shifting position. Even Labour MPs minded to support it probably won't as there's likely a GE in the offing. Still looks as if it'll go down big, so back again on Monday for more Indicative debate.

Little England's glorious Brexit project has just died following latest defeat.  Onwards to a long extension.

yellowcard

That's the end of May's deal, well beaten for a third time it looks very much like a long extension now and European elections.

The atmosphere in England will be poisonous now.

Won't this uncertainty's just continue to impact economic growth or what's left of it.
What other impacts are there on political system, tariffs etc, or is it all just postponed forever,
What is the end game now

Seems to me like they will just keep going round in circles.  Can't leave without an agreement, no chance of getting agreement, extension to timeline...  European elections coming up, everything on hold until after that. If they keep this up for another couple of years eventually everyone will get tired and they will have another vote.
There are no proofs, only opinions.
